Description
Summary:Natural resources and new shipping routes rise the interest of non Arctic states consequently, more and more of Asian states are forming their own Arctic policies. For example since 2015 Japan has begun developing and implementing Arctic policy. More over in 2018 China has presented its own Arctic policy. Japan ranks 3rd in the world in oil consumption and imports of natural gas. Due to its geographical location, Japan has limited natural resources. As a result, Japan is forced to import oil and natural gas. The Arctic is important to Japan because of the natural resources it can claim. This raises the question what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of pursuing Japan's interests in the Arctic? The aim of the final thesis is to identify prospects for realizing Japan's interests in the Arctic. In order to achieve this goal the following tasks have been formulated: to determine the concept of state interests and the ways of their implementation in the context of realism theory; to analyze the strategic importance of the Arctic in international relations; to identify Japanese interests in the Arctic based on realism theory; to carry out an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats to the implementation of Japan's interests in the Arctic. The main conclusion of the final thesis is that Japan's interests in the Arctic can be successfully implemented.
